    At WW how much of a chance does Bradley have?

    And can he withstand the hardness that is Clottey's head?? :think

    Bradley looked regular against abregu. I know clottey has been vastly underrated in this board since his survival mode fight against manny. but Manny did have the workrate and power to keep Clottey on his shield. bradley operates on a lower level and clottey would feast on him, even Knock him out

    IMO Clottey has a large size advantage but I think the difference in respective attitudes may make a difference.

    Bradley is what I call a determined fighter. I wouldn't even call Clottey a quitter. It's like he has a fear of success.

    This is an IQ test that you all are failing.

    clottey should win....but he always seems to find a way to lose....and i think 147 may start being an issue for him as he ages...so, i picked bradley

    Clottey wins this, Bradley does not have much punching power or speed, so Clottey would be more aggressive in this fight, compare to his fight against Pacquiao.

    kind of sounds like you have only seen him in his pac fight....that fight was pretty standard clottey....he gave the cotto fight away, gave the margo fight away...nothing new really

    I have seen the Cotto and Margarito fight, Clottey hurt his hands against Margarito. Against Cotto, Clottey put up good punches.

    Also Cotto is a different beast from Bradley, who is also a natural 140 fighter. If Clottey did gave Cotto hell, imagine what Clottey would do to a smaller Bradley.

    Clottey may be much bigger but doesn't like aggressive and busy fighters and all three of his legitimate losses have come to guys who were aggressive and busy...and he struggled early with Judah for those reasons (and didn't exactly shine against a shot Chico). Of those five guys mentioned just now, four began their careers at LWW or much lower.

    This wouldn't be a case where size matters much.

    Bradley by boring UD. Nobody's getting hurt...no drama.
